Virtusphere, Inc. develops and markets a locomotion platform that allows users to be completely immersed into their interactive virtual experience by allowing them to walk through the virtual environment.

How it works: Virtusphere consists of a 10-foot hollow sphere, which is placed on aspecial platform that allows the sphere to rotate freely in any direction according tothe user’s steps. A user is able to walk and run inside the sphere, viewing the virtual environment through the head-mounted display. The sensors collect and send data to the computer in real time and user’s movement is replicated within the virtual environment.The same hardware set can be used for different applications simply by switching software.

Markets and applications for Virtusphere include but are not limited to:

We are close to finalizing the development of the Virtual Game Controller (VGC) that allows for adaptation of existing 3D applications for use with Virtusphere.Recent tests of the VGC have demonstrated that soon Virtusphere users will be able to completely immerse into most 3D games without special modifications
